President Jair Bolsonaro's decision to accept that Copa America matches will be played in the country has caused great controversy, while Brazil remains the second country in the world with the highest number of cases and weekly deaths from covid-19, second only to India.

In the video, people share their opinion about the situation.

Interviews:

1) Josualdo Santos:
I am against the American Cup in Brazil, because there are many things for the federal government to worry about and it should not worry about the American Cup during a pandemic.

2) Charles Vincent:
I'm against the America Cup in Brazil because of the people, several delegations of players in the country can bring more strains to the country.

3) Letícia Gobbi:
I think that now is not the time yet, the situation in Brazil has improved a little from the pandemic, but there is still no way to think about agglomeration of people.

4) Maria do Val:
I think Brazil is not prepared to receive these people here and now, there is not even 20% of the population vaccinated yet. There is no need for this event now.

5) Vinicius Caetano:
I am against it because, the people who will come to the delegations may be infected and bring new variants of the virus to the country.

6) Geraldo Vaz:
I'm totally against it, right now the country doesn't even have money for hospital beds for our citizens who live here and pay their taxes. I don't think it's the right time for the event to be hosted in Brazil. Our money should be invested in vaccine.
